katieburst, my almost-6-year-old has celiac, and we keep our home gluten free. everything on the site and in the books is gf.does "follow" mean subscribe? there's a link at the top of the page under the header to subscribe through feedburner, if you'd like.

babymama, sure! I don't see why not.

Amy, great idea. I haven't played much with splenda, but keeping hearing great things.

I am TOTALLY making these STAT!!!! What awesome holiday gifts for neighbors, teachers, and other special people in our lives :)

Both my 7 year old daughter and I have celiac and this is a GO TO site for us :)

I copied your home URL and "added" it on my blogger dashboard to "follow" you. I also have you linked to my blogroll AND I listed you to a linky on a tab at the top of my homepage....your site is a valuable resource to the GF community EVERYWHERE!

LOVE YOU XXXXX :)

BTW, my daughter also has Type 1 Diabetes.....I may a Splenda version -- not sure yet...she can have sugar without any problem as long as we give her the insulin her body needs to break it down into a fuel source.

i love buying these at the store and had no idea i could make them. just put a batch in about an hour ago and now the house smells so yummy! we have a 13 hr drive tomorrow so we look forward to this great snack of protein and sugar to keep us going. thank you, thank you, thank you!

These look great! I love the idea of trying Splenda or brown sugar too. I like it when there are easy ways to vary a recipe and keep things interesting. I like almonds but I LOVE pecans - I'll bet pecans would be great too, especially if you use brown sugar. It would remind me of the pecan topping we put on our sweet potato casserole at Thanksgiving!

I am going to make these this week. My hubby loves candied almonds, thanks so much for the recipe :D

I am loving Crocktober, what a great idea!

BTW, you and I have baby daughters the same age. I see nothing wrong with playing the "baby card" when I forget things. My awesome FIL says it is just a case of baby brain - that the lil kiddo took all your brain cells when growing for 9 months and it takes a few years to get them all back ;)

I made these this weekend!! They are WAY too good (and easy!) I keep trying to think of reasons to make some more. Yummy!(I brought these to a get together and my friend brought your Pumpkin Spice Latte. Nice fall pairing!)

I made these this weekend and they were so delicious that I can't believe you shared the recipe! These would be a great holiday/hostess gift in a cute jar. My hubby and I will no longer go to the mall or other stores that have these and pay $6 for about 15 nuts. It took us about $13 to make them at home, and we made 1.5 batches. Thank you for sharing the recipe!

I am sitting here trying to NOT eat all of the almonds from the batch I made today and am not having much success. The sugared almondsy are amazing! I used brown sugar and added a half-teaspoon of ground cloves. I wound up with a bout a cup of crunchy spiced brown sugar crumbles (I was perhaps a wee bit generous with the brown sugar, yanno?) .... which will end up as a topping on toast (my son's idea) and/or coffee cake.

I've made these a number of times since finding this recipe, they are SOOOOOO good, hubby and I just keep eating them! And have started making them and vacuum sealing for Christmas gifts. I also tried a batch replacing the cinnamon with cocoa. The turned out GREAT as well. They kind of taste like cocoa-puffs cereal.

Oh. my. gosh. This is the PERFECT recipe!!! I Very easy, and I love that I can just throw it in the crockpot and forget it. I can also see the potential for TONS of sweet and savory variations. I'm making a big batch to give away for Christmas. Thank you so much!!!

I just made a batch of these with pecan halves. I picked a small one to try and as soon as I tasted it I though "oh.my.gosh." I haven't told my husband they're ready because I'm not sure I want to share. I need to bag them up for gift-giving tomorrow before I eat them all! Thanks, as always, for the great and super easy recipe.

making these for the first time today. i can't wait to eat them - i love love love cinnamon and i really like almonds. i'm hoping to make a few batches and bag them up as favors for my graduation party this weekend :D

These are AMAZING! I made my first two pound batch on Friday night, only adding an extra egg white to accommodate the extra almonds. YUMMY! I'm making another two pound batch right now. One thing that I did differently was to use a gallon size Ziploc. I put in one pound of almonds and then poured the egg white/vanilla combo in and shook. Then I poured in half of the sugar/cinnamon mix and shook. I poured those into the crock pot. (I did this again to the second pound.) Way less mess for me, although maybe I'm the only one who had sugar and cinnamon all over the counter from the first batch and using spoons to toss the almonds. ;) I also stirred them every 30 minutes. It smells SO good in here!! Thank you for sharing this recipe (two years ago)!!! I am so glad I stumbled upon it. This is going to be a holiday repeat every year for sure.
